Got some clipped bee's at the 99 cents store. They don't really cut or fan well. Perfect if people want to play card games though, they won't get destroyed.

heh I think they were talking about the cheap, clear plastic cards you find at Mcdonalds or Walmart...the supposedly "waterproof" kind of cards

so someone who wears glasses and a pocket protector has nothing to do with geek magic?

A question that's been on my mind lately: What's the definition of "Geek Magic?" in other words, what makes this kind of magic geeky? Is it because only geeks perform it or something?

Duck change all the way. And shapeshifter and ego as well.

I see...if someone could PM me about the finger differences between teh cardini and ego changes I'd greatly appreciate it.

You could use tricks that don't rely on well known card sleights. I won't say which but some tricks on D&D's Trilogy don't rely on double lifts and other common knowledge moves.

Don't hold the card (you know what I mean) too loosely, or it will spin 360 degrees. In practicing this move, I aimed for ending with the card bulging upwards. I don't really know how this helped me, but I know that it did, and I can do it perfectly now. As an alternative you can put the...

if you could tell us your method that'd be sweet :D although if you'd prefer not to that's understandble

Not to flame you, but this is the card magic forum...so wouldn't it be appropriate to choose cards for card magic?

In my opinion the Queens is better suited for magicians who do flourishy type magic. I'm one of those, which is why I enjoy this trick. Obviously magician purists will have different opinions than me.

Bicycles all the way. I suggest bicycle regular rider backs. Here's why: 1. Rider backs are normal cards. A spectator is more likely to suspect a Ghost or Shadowmasters deck of being a "trick" deck rather than a normal bicycle deck. 2. They handle well both for magic and for flourishing...

I liked it, although the camera was pretty bad. Nice production at the end.

For some reason I never learned the differences between the cardini and ego changes. Is there a major difference, or do they look basically the same?

For sybils anyway - I find that many of the tutorials on the internet are better for making my own cuts rather than just copying them. Unless it's especially cool. And copyrights: personally, I think that tutorials are fine for must-know flourishes, like the classic fan, charlier cut, etc...

Not another exposure thread... anyway, just practice a lot, it will come to you.

hope the 1 on 1 is free again... Maybe the Rear Palm? No idea.

What do you consider to be the hardest flourish? (you don't already have to know it ;-D) I consider the Lepaul spread to be one of the hardest, just because it's so hard to get down an even spread and to learn to riffle cards off one by one. (flaming time...i think?)

So is the U Lepaul spread an upside down U? My problem is that my S spread is based upon more on the glossy finish of the cards rather than riffling the cards off the fingers. That's why I'm still working on the U spread.

(this is just my opinion - so....you know what I mean.) For my impromptu performances I use Tivo 2.0, Subway, Card to Mouth from the Trilogy, Stigmata, Mercury Aces, ACR, and Out of This World. It's fun to have variety of tricks that don't rely on just double lifts, glides, and other well...
